Episode Synopsis
Asking the right questions?
Questions have a source, a factor we do not always consider when we, or others ask questions. Questions come from our currenr knowledge pool, when it's not sufficient to to give undsrstanding, solve our problems, when our knowledge is not enough, to help us make sense of life. Life's mysteries, challenges, troubles and hardships. Life beautiful and tragic moments, joyful and painful. We have questions. Questions connect us to areas that we need to acquire more information, these are areas of growth, areas where need clarity, simplification...and that's an good thing.
Questions are inspired by a few factors...these factors determine the kind of question we will ask and reasons behind. One of these key factors is...purpose.
Purpose: Is one of the primary sources of questions in life, the determined resolve as it is informed by what we are trying to achieve, what we need unravel to get on to the next stage. When we are trying to achieve our goals, but we struggle, we ask questions. When we make progress and begin to realise a few successes, but come across obstacles, we ask questions. When we have achieved our goals and think that we have finally, accomplished our purpose finally, we ask new questions. Questions like, What's next? Was that enough? Should I do it again....or is that all there is to it?
But, What happens if you have a wrong purpose? What if our purpose is informed by ideologies we no longer subscribe to? What if they're sourced in misconceptions, misinformation, destructive mindsets or wrong sources of influence? In this case we, ask the wrong questions. What our background is so dark and twisted, filled with confusion and conflict, tragedy that shaped us to see life a certain way? Which questions do we ask and where do we end up?
We can find ourselves asking, how do I become better than everyone else, rather than asking how do I become the best of me. We can ask how do I eliminate competition rather than how do we become the best at what we do? How can I diss my haters or show them? We can ask what is wrong with other people, rather how do we become the difference that brings change in hopeless situations.
With the wrong substance in our our mindsets, we ask the wrong questions, get wrong answers, come up with wrong solutions and resolve the wrong problems. But when we deliberately fill our minds with the right susbstance, We Build the right Mindsets and come up with the right solutions. It all begins with, what our purpose is, leads to what do we need to solve, then our plan, then tools. Adjustment in the process will be connected to purpose, readjustment continues the process starting with questions. See how that works? You can be stuck in long path of wrong questions and wrong plans and outcomes when you begin at the wrong place.
So..what's in your mind?
